Coming off its fourth season finale Jan. 11, The Millionaire Matchmaker has been greenlit for a fifth season. Bravo also confirmed new season orders for The Rachel Zoe Project, Flipping Out and Work of Art: The Next Great Artist, for their fourth, fifth and second seasons, respectively.

Platinum Hit with Kara DioGuardi (formerly Hitmakers) will debut in Summer 2011 and Rocco's Dinner Party will air later this year, the network said. New series Million Dollar Decorators and Pregnant in Heels will premiere in April.

"Bravo continues to expand the hours of original programming, bringing viewers even more outsized hits that embrace pop culture and showcase big name talent such as Rocco DiSpirito, Jewel, Kara DioGuardi, and our newest 'Bravolebrity' Curtis Stone," President of Bravo Media Frances Berwick said. "We are known for evolving projects into cultural touchstones and we look forward to continuing that with our upcoming slate of creative new series."
